6 Months

Sweet Sawyer turned 6 months old Friday.  It's hard to believe that he is closer to turning one than he is being a newborn.  He is sitting up really well, and I can put some toys (or his big brother) around him and leave the room for a few minutes to get some stuff done.  Unless, heaven forbid, he sees me leave the room.  Then he panics and screams until he is sweaty and possibly vomiting.  Such a mama's boy.

His favorite toys are Sophie the giraffe, Sam's cap, and a plastic cup.  Sawyer thinks it's hilarious when Sam drops the cup.  I don't get the humor, but Henry laughed hysterically at that too when he was little.  It must be a guy thing.

Sawyer is (finally) sleeping at night.  I feed him at 9pm, then he eats again around 5 or 6am.  He sometimes wakes up during the night, but I can put his paci back in and he'll go back to sleep.  He is still sleeping in my closet.  It's working for us right now, so we're not changing it yet!

He has started eating rice cereal a few times a week, and just started trying baby food.  So far he is ok with bananas, and loves sweet potatoes.  Today he tried MumMums for the first time and LOVED them.  He ate two, and got most of them in his mouth.  Just a little bit was stuck to his thighs and behind his ear, but it was a good effort.

He weighs 16 pounds, is 26 inches tall, and is in the 20th percentile for height and weight.  Good things come in small packages.
